It's actually the first time I read that portion (at least so that I could
remember) of video-interfaces.txt. I'm not sure if anyone has implemented
that previously, nor how we ended up with the text. The list archive could
probably tell. Cc Guennadi who wrote it. :-) I couldn't immediately find DT
source with this arrangement.
In case of splitting the port into two parallel interfaces, how do you
determine which wires belong to which endpoint? I guess they'd be particular
sets of wires but as there's just a single port it isn't defined by the
port.
